Lynyrd Skynyrd - What's Your Name? Lyrics






Well, its 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho
I'll find my limo driver
Mister, take us to the show
I done made some plans for later on tonight
I'll find a little queen
And I know I can treat her right.

[Chorus]
What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?.

Back at the hotel
Lord we got such a mess
It seems that one of the crew
Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes
Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar
What a shame
Won't you come upstairs girl
And have a drink of champagne

What's your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
For there ain't no shame.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

9 o'clock the next day
And I'm ready to go
I got six hundred miles to ride
To do one more show, oh no
Can I get you a taxi home
It sure was grand
When I come back here next year
I wanna see you again

What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Well there ain't no shame
What was your name, little girl?
What's your name?
Shootin' you straight, little girl?
Won't you do the same?

  21. N.... K....

    Meanwhile, in real life, someone using the phrase "What's your name, little girl?" indicates one of two scenarios.
    1: There's a lost child in a public area, such as a mall and an adult is trying to reunite them with their parent(s)/guardian(s)
    2: We're about to hear the *BUM BUM* sound from Law and Order SVU

    N.... K....

    3. All of the above
    4. You live in the 70s (or whenever this was released)

    N.... K....

    Its about a petite groupie in her 20s and that's just how we talk in the south

  22. T.... M....

    When a man doesn't ever use your name and then your friend says this is what you should say now and then to just blow that Ahole off and all that he did you wrong. A way of forgiveness of bs to carry on in life happier and why not joke about it and make others happy.😂😃 Did I mention you and many others didn't do it so yeah what's your name Lynyrd Skynyrd?! You have Always awesome 🎶🤗🤩

  23. A.... B....

    ALLEN FUCKiN COLLiNS!!!

  24. C.... L....

    Joe Biden's theme song

  25. t.... s....

    Which one of you killed rock roll

  26. D.... H....

    I was a kid watch my dad and mom and uncles and aunts dance there ass's off to this song drunk as hell..so funny looking back now.

  27. S.... G....

    Southern Fried Rock!
    Mmmmmmmm Good!
    Skynyrd, Allman. Hatchet, Tucker, 38 Special, Ozark, Blackfoot, apologies to others left off list...
    I'm Old!

    S.... G....

    All great bands! Except 38 special, there just ok.

    S.... G....

    You cant forget the OUTLAWS....
    Truly ledgendary

    S.... G....

    creedence clearwater revival.

  28. J.... G....

    And “won’t you do the same” also refers to “shouldn’t you stay.” “Official” lyrics are often written by transcribers and are often hopelessly wrong. I’ve even seen artists come back years later and sing their own lyrics wrong by “relearning” them from published documents.

  29. J.... G....

    It’s “Shouldn’t you stay?” Not “Shootin’ you straight”. That’s why the following line is “For there ain’t no shame.”

  30. D.... R....

    Some 420 music 😁

  31. D.... M....

    This song takes back to old days at Barre's night club and I was the chief then.

  32. F.... T....

    joe biden's favorite song

    F.... T....

    That comment needs more love.

  33. h.... h....

    So, has anyone here worked in hotels and got the police called after you started hitting on the customers?

  34. h.... h....

    "One of the Crew had a go with one of the Guests." Such imagery :D

  35. M.... P....

    This song is supposedly about Linda Blair who was a groupie then.

  36. A.... M....

    It's 9:00 and we're ready to go!

  37. L.... F....

    Excellence

  38. K.... D....

    Was listening at 10:00 in Rochester NY so it would be 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho.

    K.... D....

    @Kyle Dechau, yeah, I was listening at 6:00 Nevada time. Same result...😎

    K.... D....

    @Gary Simmons I think they're 1 time zone apart lol.

    K.... D....

    I live a little south of boise idaho and i listened to it at 8 last night on the way home from the pull a part with my buddy

  39. M.... L....

    If Lynyrd Skynyrd made this song today they'd be accused of being a pedophiles.

    So, if she stays and we have champagne in my room in 2019, is that a harassment, assault, or rape charge?

    Don't go near them, young men. Marry and stay faithful to your wife. IF you value your health, life, and future.

    one of the theme songs in the movie Dale. ( Dale Earnhardt)

  77. L.... D....

    Am I really the only one that thinks this song sounds like a Pedophile song? "Little girl, what's your name?"

    L.... D....

    Lil D'usse I'm not sure how old you are but back when this song came out alot if guys referred to their early twenties girlfriends as their little girl. I remember hearing it all the time.

    L.... D....

    Yes, dirty mind.

    L.... D....

    "You're 16, you're beautiful, and you're mine"
    You need to look into a LOT more songs, beginning in the 1950's.

  78. l.... v....

    What's your name, little girl?

  79. B.... N....

    The annoying thing is basically every rock and country station in Boise plays this at 8. It was funny the first few times, now it’s just fucking annoying

  80. j.... r....

    Love the 208 Peace

  81. A.... T....

    Fun fact Ronnie wrote this song when his daughter was born as a dedication to her

    A.... T....

    Got a link to that info?
    Hard to think he dedicated a song about screwing someone to his baby daughter.

    A.... T....

    I didn't know that thanks

    A.... T....

    Adam Tarbaux lol wtf

  82. D.... ....

    Love the horns in this song.

    D.... ....

    Yeah been listening for years didn’t notice how much jazz is in it

  83. R.... ....

    It's 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho
    When your city is actually mentioned in something!!

    R.... ....

    Crazy, right?!

    R.... ....

    Ya that would not happen in Rochester

    R.... ....

    Its also 8 o clock in kuna so ya

  84. R.... C....

    Great singles bar song.

  85. G.... O....

    Roy Moore's theme.

    G.... O....

    That song will introduce THE ROY MOORE STORY with Dustin Hoffman as the title character and Bob Odenkirk as his (Jewish) attorney. Rated F for Fellowship.

    G.... O....

    Of course since so many Skynyrd fans are from Alabama that was perfect!

  86. M.... W....

    The Roy Moore theme

    M.... W....

    Wow! Were you there when it supposedly happened? You should be in the pokey.

    M.... W....

    YES!!!!

  87. 0.... ....

    This should be the new theme for To Catch A Predator!

    0.... ....

    Ur my fucking hero lmao

    0.... ....

    i want to BLANK your BLANK....

    0.... ....

    03bgood was thinking the same thing haha 😂

  88. K.... A....

    One of those Country-like kind of songs, that is actually a Rock and Roll song. :-)

  89. M.... P....

    On this song, only Gary Rossington and Artimus Pyle are still alive. Ed King had already quit the band by then.

    M.... P....

    Rest in peace Ed.

  90. C.... B....

    I listen this song at my work Satellite radio.

  91. f.... 7....

    I showed this to kid's they call me a weirdo

    "What's Your Name?"

    Well, its 8 o'clock in Boise, Idaho
    I'll find my limo driver
    Mister, take us to the show
    I done made some plans for later on tonight
    I'll find a little queen
    And I know I can treat her right.

    [Chorus]
    What's your name, little girl?
    What's your name?
    Shootin' you straight, little girl?
    Won't you do the same?.

    Back at the hotel
    Lord we got such a mess
    It seems that one of the crew
    Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes
    Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar
    What a shame
    Won't you come upstairs girl
    And have a drink of champagne

    What's your name, little girl?
    What's your name?
    Shootin' you straight, little girl?
    For there ain't no shame.

    [Chorus]

    [Chorus]

    9 o'clock the next day
    And I'm ready to go
    I got six hundred miles to ride
    To do one more show, oh no
    Can I get you a taxi home
    It sure was grand
    When I come back here next year
    I wanna see you again

    What was your name, little girl?
    What's your name?
    Shootin' you straight, little girl?
    Well there ain't no shame
    What was your name, little girl?
    What's your name?
    Shootin' you straight, little girl?
    Won't you do the same?

    Here y'all go. The lyrics. By the way, one of the best songs by a great band. I take no ownership of this or any other recordings. This is the property of Lynyrd Skynyrd, all rights reserve

    N.... H....

    Oh my land, just heard this song for the first time in years and it ACTUALLY does say Boise Idaho! That's so crazy to me.

    N.... H....

    @Veronica Barber we got mentioned in a song!!!

  93. T.... ....

    Randomly thought of this song out of the blue when relaxing after a hard day of school haha its funny how all that works such a great song

  94. V.... J....

    When I first heard this song around 6-7 years old before I knew Lynyrd Skynyrd and I heard the lyrics "what's your name, little girl, what's your name" I thought the song was about a really young girl. I was like "oh my gosh this mans a rapist."

  95. B.... A....

    I'm the only one in my class who likes Rock and roll.

    B.... A....

    Yep its about learning an instrument and being proud of accomplishment not spinning a disc

    B.... A....

    teach others

    B.... A....

    I was country or whatever I was and it wasn't cool either.1996...just Do you!!!
